    "content": "On the part of men, what is the practical benefit? We have seen situations where women have taken advantage of the fact that this Act gives them the first responsibility. They have, therefore, resorted to blackmailing men. When you get a child, you go to court where you get an order for maintenance of that child. Because you have the automatic right of being the first parent of both, you are now the one receiving cash. When the father, for instance, makes an application to have the child transferred to him, he will be told by the court “No”. This is because the first parental responsibility is bestowed upon the mother. So, we have situations where men have been exploited. Therefore, this one will bring equality."
